The Band Light has signed with Red Van Records and Jonas Group Publishing (JGP).

Comprised of Konnor Dolberry (lead vocalist), Jack Glenn (bassist/vocalist), Garrett Goodrich (lead guitarist/vocalist) and Trevor Young (drums/vocalist), the Nashville-based rock group bonded while working on a music production at their high school in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

“The Band Light is a magnetic force and, true to their name, they bring their light and infectious energy into every room,” says Emily Peacock, JGP’s Senior Creative Director. “I look forward to connecting them with our Music Row songwriting community, and am excited for all of the great music—and great fun—that lies ahead.”

They inked an exclusive management deal with Jonas Group Entertainment (JGE)’s Director of Artist Management Rachel Inglesino in 2023, and hit the road to open for Quarters of Change and New Hope Club this year. Having amassed almost two million streams, The Band Light plans to release new music in early 2025.

“From the first time I saw them perform, I knew they were unique and that their talents needed to be brought to a bigger audience. Together, they carry a rare brilliance. They have the innate ability to speak to the soul of their generation while honoring what inspired them,” shares Inglesino. “Their authenticity and focus on community promise an impact that goes beyond the stage. We are thrilled to be a part of this journey with The Band Light.”

“As a band, we have always dreamed of finding the right team who understands and shares a vision. We are so fortunate to have found that drive, integrity and sense of family within Jonas Group Entertainment and Publishing,” expresses the foursome. “We are beyond excited to enter the next chapter in our career with a team who is committed to elevating both our careers and us as individuals.”
